Persaeus
Persaeus ((ギリシア語:Περσαῖος); 307/6–243 BC〔Tiziano Dorandi, ''Chapter 2: Chronology'', in Algra et al. (1999) ''The Cambridge History of Hellenistic Philosophy'', page 50. Cambridge.〕) of Citium, son of Demetrius, was a Greek Stoic philosopher, and a friend and favourite student of Zeno of Citium.
==Life==
He lived in the same house as Zeno.〔Diogenes Laërtius, (vii. 13 )〕 Later writers wrote that Persaeus had been Zeno's slave,〔cf. e.g. Aulus Gellius, ''Attic Nights'', (ii. 18. 8 )〕 who had perhaps originally been an amanuensis sent to Zeno by King Antigonus II Gonatas;〔Diogenes Laërtius, (vii. 36 )〕 however, the source of this story seems to be due to a sarcastic remark made about Persaeus by Bion of Borysthenes who upon seeing a statue of Persaeus inscribed: "''Persaeus the pupil of Zeno''," sneered that it ought to have been: "''Persaeus the Servant of Zeno''."〔Athenaeus, ''Deipnosophists'', (iv. 162 )〕
It is known that Antigonus II Gonatas invited Zeno to his court at Pella〔Diogenes Laërtius, (vii. 6 )〕 around 276 BC. Zeno refused because of his old age and sent his students Persaeus and Philonides of Thebes instead.〔Diogenes Laërtius, (vii. 9 )〕 Persaeus became an important figure at the Macedonian court. After Antigonus captured Corinth around 244 BC, Persaeus was given control of the city as Archon. Persaeus died in 243 BC defending the city against the attack led by Aratus of Sicyon.〔Pausanias, ''Description of Greece, Book II: Corinth'', (ii. 8. 4 )〕
